Adore Trick of Beauty

Nie Wushuang felt a slight suddenness in his heart, but when he saw that Xiao Fengming only sighed, he felt relieved and said with a faint smile: "His Royal Highness Prince Rui will definitely come back to celebrate the New Year."

Xiao Fengming smiled happily and put her hand in his sleeve: "I hope so."

Nie Wushuang raised his eyes and looked into the distance. The entire palace was covered with snow. The wind seemed to be a little lighter, and the snowflakes were dancing lightly in the air. Another year was about to pass. She lowered her eyes and was supported by Xiao Fengming to get on the dragon boat.

…to the end…

Xiao Fengming sent a letter of credence to Qi the next day to discuss the alliance between the two countries.

In the Jinluan Palace of Qi State, the officials were arguing endlessly.

The first one standing on the left hand side of the imperial steps is Gu Qinghong, who is wearing the official uniform of the Prime Minister. For half a year, he has been worried about the war and state affairs, which has made his bones weak, but his figure is still as tall and handsome as a moon, like a fine branch. Bamboo is modest and refined.

It's just that there is a cold sarcasm on his lips now, and as he listens to the compliments and flattery of the courtiers below, an indescribable disgust flashes across his eyes. On the throne, the elderly Emperor of Qi listened to the opinions of the courtiers below regarding the country's request for the alliance to go to war, with a smile on his face.

He turned to look at Gu Qinghong, who had been silent all this time, and asked harmoniously: "What do you think Gu Aiqing?"

Gu Qinghong sneered in his heart and looked back at the envoy from Ying who handed over his credentials, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "Since Emperor Ying wants to ask my emperor to send troops to attack Qin together, then why are the 50,000 horses in Nie Minghu's hands still on the ground? Stay? 'Qixiaguan' is still in the hands of your country. If your emperor is really sincere about making another alliance, he should withdraw his 50,000 soldiers and horses!"

After hearing his rude words, the envoy of Ying State turned pale and said angrily: "Did Gu Xiangguo forget who helped Qi State resist Qin State in times of crisis? Now that the Qin soldiers have just retreated, Gu Xiangguo Are you here to make unreasonable accusations?”

He was indignant, looked at the Emperor of Qi on the throne, knelt down and said: "Xiangguo Gu has forgotten, but has His Majesty the Emperor also forgotten?! My emperor is benevolent and righteous. When the Qin State lured him with heavy profits, my emperor did not do anything. I am tempted to help Qi State to defeat Qin State. Now that Qin State is about to be destroyed, my emperor wants to share the Qin State with His Majesty. I hope His Majesty the Emperor will think twice before doing so and not listen to the slanders of some people and ruin the relationship between Qi and Ying. diplomatic relations!"

The Emperor of Qi glanced at Gu Qinghong's condensed expression, coughed slightly, and smoothed things over: "I deeply agree with what the envoy said. Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is just too worried. That's all. This is a serious matter. Please allow me to discuss it with a few more people." The ministers and workers will discuss it carefully. The envoys have come from afar and are tired. Please go back to the post office and I will order someone to arrange the envoys well. Please——"

Upon hearing this, the envoy of Ying State stood up and glared at Gu Qinghong before proudly retreating.

The ministers below looked at each other in shock, but seeing that Gu Qinghong remained silent, they did not dare to say anything more. When the Emperor of Qi saw that the court meeting was at a deadlock, he had no choice but to say: "Retreat from the court without incident!"

After saying that, he winked at Gu Qinghong and then walked away slowly. The ministers respectfully sent the emperor off. After the delivery, many ministers looked at Gu Qinghong, who was alone under the throne, and stepped forward to persuade him: "Master Xiangguo, don't worry too much. Emperor Yingguo is not as ambitious as Qin Guo, let alone Qin. There should be marriages between the two countries."

"Yes, yes. Now that we have the opportunity to share the Qin Dynasty together, isn't it a great opportunity?"

"And even if we don't go, given time, Ying Guo captures the capital of Qin State, can we Qi State still hope to get a share of the pie? This is impossible!"

"Lord Xiangguo..."

"Lord Xiangguo..."

…

Gu Qinghong looked at the comfortable and comfortable faces in front of him after the catastrophe, and felt sick in his heart. He said coldly: "My colleagues, there is no need to persuade me. The truth has its own opinions!"

He said and walked away. All the ministers were left looking at each other in shock.

I don’t know who was dissatisfied and snorted: "I am just a scholar, but now I am shaking."

"Hehe!" Someone sneered: "Don't look at him like this. If he hadn't brought down Mr. Nie, he wouldn't be in the position he is in now. We should be careful. He dares to kill even his father-in-law, tsk tsk..."

"Then what he said about General Nie Minghu's stay seems to be a private matter. No wonder he is anxious to get Nie Minghu out of Qi. It turns out he has a guilty conscience..."

"You don't know, don't you? In fact, the real reason why he is so opposed to the alliance between Qi and Ying is that the emperor of Ying State accepted Nie Wushuang as his imperial concubine. Tsk tsk... I heard that Ying Guo's harem has three thousand people, and Ying Guo's emperor only favors him. The Nie family is alone. I don’t know how charming and evil the Nie family is, tut tut..." A voice filled with envy and jealousy sounded.

"Ah, really? Emperor Ying's behavior is so majestic. Doesn't this embarrass Prime Minister Gu? No wonder Prime Minister Gu is so opposed to it..."

"Let's go, let's stop talking. If his eyes and ears hear it, we will be miserable!"

After the ministers finished their discussion, with a bit of disdain and contempt on their faces, they dispersed.

The road in front of us is winding and winding, with no edge visible at a glance. The Emperor of Qi liked elegant things, and the garden in front of the imperial study was built with every step of the way. However, Gu Qinghong only felt that his steps were empty, and every step seemed to be stepping on cotton. The winter in Qi State is cold and wet, and the whole body feels as if it is immersed in ice water, which is extremely uncomfortable. He looked at the chamberlain in front of him who was respectfully leading the way, and his eyes could no longer suppress the anger in the court just now.

Borrow troops! Borrow troops! After a year of fighting with the Qin army, the devastated Qi State still had what troops it could borrow? !

Nie Minghu's 50,000 men and horses were stationed at "Qixia Pass". Are they all blind and deaf and unable to see what Xiao Fengming wants to do?

Borrowing troops and tempting them with the promise of sharing Qin's interests, don't they understand that this is another trick of Xiao Fengming?

?

…

The anger in my chest was blocked, and I couldn't find an outlet to vent it. Seeing that the imperial study room was right in front of him, Gu Qinghong couldn't help but take a deep breath and walked in.

"Gu Aiqing is here. Sit down!" The old emperor of Qi's face was full of gentleness.

After Gu Qinghong bowed down, he said in a neither humble nor condescending way: "No need, I just want you to stand. Your Majesty..."

Before he could say anything, the Emperor of Qi interrupted him. He looked at Gu Qinghong's slightly gray hair and asked, "How is Gu Aiqing's health lately?"

Gu Qinghong was slightly startled, lowered his eyes, and said calmly: "Thank you for your Majesty's concern, I am very good."

"This is the antidote I gave you. Now that Gu Aiqing has retired with great achievements, I can rest assured. Gu Aiqing, don't blame me. I was thinking about the country of Qi at the beginning." The Emperor of Qi sighed.

Gu Qinghong looked at the elixir brought by the servant on the side, and there was ridicule in his eyes. The Qi State's Jiangshan Sheji was clearly just afraid that his great achievements would shock the master and support his troops to respect himself! He picked up the elixir and swallowed it without using any water: "Thank you for your grace!"

"That's right. If the monarch and his ministers are united, Qi will still need talents like Gu Aiqing in the future." The Emperor of Qi laughed, walked down the imperial steps in person, and patted Gu Qinghong on the shoulder: "I heard that Gu Aiqing has been here for more than a year. , in order to fight the Qin army, you have become ill from overwork, I specially give you to go back to your hometown to rest and recuperate, let all the officials worry about the affairs of the court."

Gu Qinghong suddenly raised his head, his clear and gentle eyes gradually became sharper, making the Emperor of Qi feel embarrassed: "This...this is for Gu Aiqing's good."

A sourness welled up from his heart. After a long time, Gu Qinghong finally looked away and said, "Has your Majesty decided to attack Qin with Ying Guo?"

"This... yes, after all, the two countries have always been on good terms, and speaking of it, the two countries are also related by marriage. This... it is really unjustifiable not to help. And after all, it was Ying Guo who helped Qi State drive away the Qin army, there is no doubt about it "." The more the Emperor of Qi spoke, the more confident he became. He advised earnestly: "Gu Aiqing, why should a man value a woman? How big can Nie Wushuang be? She is just a weak woman. In the face of state affairs, Gu Aiqing We still have to put national affairs first!”

Gu Qinghong was shocked. He stared at the gold bricks with lotus patterns on the ground. He smiled in a daze for a long time: "She is just a weak woman. Does your Majesty think so too?"

He raised his head, took out a seal from his arms, placed it on the dragon table, and said calmly: "Wei Chen is seriously ill and has been feeling weak recently. Please allow me to resign and go home to recover. Xiangguo Yi For this position, please choose someone with talent."

After he finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed, turned around and left resolutely.

Seeing his determination, the Emperor of Qi was about to say something to persuade him to stay, but he became dejected and remained silent. A person came out from the screen behind him, it was the envoy who had just angrily rebuked Gu Qinghong in the court.

He stepped forward and said with a smile: "His Majesty the Emperor is wise. Now that Gu Qinghong has resigned, His Majesty the Emperor can rest assured that he will cooperate with me and share the vast land of Qin together!"

The Emperor of Qi burst into laughter when he heard this: "Of course, of course, please envoy to tell your emperor that Ying Guo of Qi State is a relative by marriage and a good ally for generations. He will definitely defeat Qin State!"

The two of them had their own thoughts and smiled at each other.

*********There will be an update tonight********

The reason why Bing does not update 8,000 words a day is because the website has canceled the golden finger, and Bing is going to Beijing for the annual meeting next Wednesday, and he has to save the manuscript to prepare. Although I can't update 8,000 words a day, I feel very sorry, but Bing will try his best to keep 6,000 words updated every day. Personally, I feel that the article is not about the number of words, but about the plot. Without the task of rushing out manuscripts and thinking carefully about writing, this is the state I really want. There are gains and losses, depending on how the individual views it. Maybe what I lose is the subscription, and what you lose is the length of reading the article, but I think the stress-free writing state is what I like, and the non-procrastinating plot should also make you feel that it is worth the money.

Keep asking for flowers and votes! Hey everyone!
